Breakfast Foods to Better Your Brain

Dr. Fleury went on CTV Morning Live with Mike Ciona to talk about healthy breakfast foods that’ll give your brain a boost. She explained what lots of us are getting wrong about breakfast and how we can fix it.

The Problem with Breakfast

The problem with most breakfast foods is that they’re high in three things that don’t do your brain any favours throughout the day.

Unhealthy Breakfast Elements:

Carbohydrates

Sugars

Caffeine

If you eat foods in the morning that are high in carbohydrates or sugars, by the afternoon (or even by mid-morning), you’ll find yourself lost in a fog, craving caffeine and other stimulants.

Healthy Breakfasts

Dr. Fleury says that by balancing your blood sugar with a more balanced breakfast, you’ll enable your brain to work better.

To make breakfasts healthier, Dr. Fleury recommends ditching the carbohydrates and sugars and instead focusing on four main elements.
